So this story about some random McCain supporter

[Doombot]

McCain - he was a prisoner of war you know. Oh, has it been mentioned he was a PoW at all? And while we're on the subject...did you know he was a PoW?

Oh yes... YES... YES!

Hey everyone! Stop asking about my houses. When I was a POW... I didn't have a house for 5 1/2 years. Hey, you know... when I was a POW... I didn't have a table.

Yes. We. Know.

Stop milking it. The milk is turning sour and the poor cow has blisters.

If you used it as a part of your background, I could respect you. But when you use your POW status as a 9/11 to get out of questions then the respect is gone.

Here is what I'd love to happen in US politics. All the third parties unite into one party

Then let our parties combine!

Chuck Baldwin: *Aims Constitution Ring in the air* "Bureaucratic reduction!"

Bob Barr: *Aims Libertarian Ring in the air* "Laissez-faire!"

Cynthia McKinney: *Aims Green Party Ring in the air* "Crazzzzyness"

Ralph Nader: *Aims Independent Ring in the air* "Activism"

Brian Moore: *Aims Socialist Ring in the air* "Worker's rights!"

By Your Parties Combine... I am Captain Sam.

You say that and I'm sure everyone else here would as well but my point is you aren't going to see this story splashed all over the news 24/7 like it would if someone did that to an Obama doll. Where's the outrage/drama/call for someone's head?

[Celest]

Well.. last I checked, Obama wasnt trying to stoke the fires for his campaign. Not that this is acceptable in anyway but to be honest, the last couple of weeks, McCain has seveirly mishandled his campaign and even the Republicans across the nation are jumping ship on him and running on the platform of 'Since we will have a Democratic Pres..'

Elizabeth Dole is a good example of this.

Not to defend this man's actions in any way, but do you really not see the cultural difference between hanging an effigy of a white person and hanging an effigy of a black person?

Clearly the author of the article didn't.

Yes but let me put it this way. If it had happened to Hillary Clinton we would have heard an uproar from feminists and the MSM about it similar to what would have occurred had it been an Obama doll. Women in this country are still strangely considered a minority (seeing as how there have been more women than  men here for a very long time now) and Hillary would have been portrayed as a victim of simulated violence against women.

I wonder how this idiot would feel if someone put up a display of a gay man getting beat down by a gang of skeletons. All in good fun for the holiday don't ya know. 

I also like how he admits he thinks the left is more violent than the right when he says he knows if it had been an Obama doll he would have had stuff thrown through his window.

Edit - after hopping into the shower I realized I didn't address the main point here which is that a part of the MSM covered it. However, can anyone here honestly watch that video and tell me it was covered in the same way as if that had been an Obama doll? We would have had the reporter being more confrontational with the home owner, we would have had either Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton or another race baiter over the phone or on video talking about how evil it was, we would have had calls from local politicians saying it should be pulled down, etc and so on.  All we got here was one intelligent reasonable man saying it was wrong. That's it.
